This e-book describes how a data refinery can make trusted data available quickly and easily to people and systems across your organization. It includes simple steps you can take to start exploring - and implementing - this strategy for handling the challenges of hybrid data environments.

Cloud-based data and processing services present too much opportunity for organizations to ignore. How can organizations realize the obvious financial benefits of the cloud while ensuring information culled from cloud sources is secure and trustworthy?
Good hybrid information governance implies several priorities for IT and the business which are based on these foundational pillars:
- Broad agreement on what information means
- Clear agreement on how owned information assets will be maintained and monitored
- Standard practices for securing strategic information assets
- Enterprise data integration strategy

Who's afraid of the big (data) bad wolf? Survive the big data storm by getting ahead of integration and governance functional requirements
Today data volumes are exploding in every facet of our lives. Business leaders are eager to harness the power of big data but before setting out into the big data world it is important to understand that as opportunities increase ensuring that source information is trustworthy and protected becomes exponentially more difficult. This paper provides a detailed review of the best practices clients should consider before embarking on their big data integration projects.

This white paper describes how IBM’s Pure Data System for Analytics delivers speed and simplicity to help organizations become more responsive and agile in today’s increasingly mobile and data-driven market.

Big Data has generated much interest and attention in the media of late. Indeed, several authors have recently raised the question of whether Big Data approaches, such as Hadoop, will pronounce the death sentence on the conventional data warehouse.
In this survey we investigate the current state of the data warehouse and examine its recent challenger in the form of Big Data solutions as an alternative. Is the new technology really complementary or is the reign of the data warehouse nearing an end?

Make your employees happier, increase their performance and reduce IT support costs by upgrading to a Latitude 5470.
Dell partnered with Principled Technologies to create three productivity-based workflows to see how quickly the new Dell Latitude E5470 laptop powered by the latest 6th generation Intel Core i5-6300U processor performed compared to previous generations.

This evolving technology promises faster deployment, lower costs and improved IT staff productivity.
Hyperconverged data centers were once a niche technology that mostly appealed to organizations with specialized needs, such as streamlining the management of small and branch offices. Today, many enterprises are now recognizing the value of transitioning their conventional data centers into hyperconverged facilities.
Gartner reports that by 2018 hyperconverged integrated systems will represent as much as 35 percent of total converged infrastructure shipments by revenue, up from a low single-digit base in 2015. Download this white paper to learn more!

As IT advances, organizations are adopting infrastructures that enhance agility and improve efficiency.
Data centers are evolving to a state that is almost unrecognizable from only a few years ago. Numerous forces, such as cloud computing and powerful orchestration solutions, are combining to fundamentally change data centers, making them more powerful, sophisticated, flexible and efficient. Many organizations are adopting a hybrid infrastructure data center model that combines a variety of technologies and methodologies, including virtualization, private clouds and other internal IT resources, along with external options such as hosting, colocation, Software as a Service (SaaS) applications and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings.

Podcast Series by Hewlett Packard Enterprises and CDW
CDW hosted a discussion among several data center experts. Listen to the discussion as these experts address a number of important questions such as:
- What is a modern data center infrastructure?
- How do IT leaders establish an infrastructure that is fast, agile, flexible and adaptable?
- What will the data center of the future look like?

With capacity demands growing constantly, storage environments must take advantage of both spinning-disk and flash technology.
For decades, data center managers have faced a constant struggle to efficiently store and retrieve the massive amounts of information that their facilities collect, create and serve up to users. Being able to store and retrieve data quickly and cost-effectively is paramount to running a successful data center. But as the amounts of data that organizations store and retrieve grow at exponential rates, the challenges become thornier. Download this white paper to learn more!

Tools for extracting actionable insights from growing mounds of data are becoming smarter and easier to use.
Organizations are awash in data generated by customers, supply chain partners and numerous other humanand machine-based sources. With the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) starting to churn out even more data, many enterprises are considering how to transform their growing stores of raw information into actionable insights.
Business intelligence (BI) and data analytics were once mostly limited to large enterprises, but 85 percent of small and midsize businesses have expressed interest in these solutions, according Gartner subsidiary Software Advice. Further, Accuray Research reports that the global business intelligence and analytics software market is poised to grow swiftly in the coming years to approximately $24 billion by 2020.
